Lenten Prayers, Week 3
From Thomas Hopko, The Lenten Spring (Crestwood, NY: St. Vladimir's Press, 1983), p. 75:
O my gracious Savior,
be my Healer and Redeemer,
and cast me not away.
Raise me up when you see me fallen,
lying in sin,
since You are all-powerful,
that I may know your deeds and cry out to You:
"Before I perish completely,
save me, O Lord."
